I’m an Orthodox priest. The message hasn’t changed—just the delivery.

I’m looking forward to presenting and speaking with Fr. Andrew on this topic. May it be blessed.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Missions and Evangelism Ministry of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco will host a free online presentation titled “America as a Mission Field: What Is the Gospel?” on June 9, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. PST via Zoom. Organizers say the 90-minute session is part of an ongoing effort to explore how Orthodox Christianity can be shared in contemporary American society.

@dlgreen53 @needGod_net The gospel is watered down with words like “nice.” It wasn’t nice when God expelled Adam from Paradise. That’s was God’s love. It wasn’t nice when God brought the flood. It wasn’t nice when Christ whipped the merchants. God is not nice, He is loving, merciful, and just.

@NoeticSpring @needGod_net Disagree - How does one speak the truth in love (Eph 4:15), & not be nice? That's a contradiction. Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

It's ironic seeing the comments from Catholics & Orthodox relying on their obedience to get them to heaven and yet being disobedient in their behavior in how they treat others. Meanwhile, faith alone people are nicer and more obedient. It’s almost as if trusting fully in God’s grace actually transforms the heart.

@dlgreen53 @needGod_net Again, I don’t see the word “nice” in there. The fruits of the spirit are the virtues. Being “nice” is not among them. Love is not “nice.”

@NoeticSpring @needGod_net What happened to bearing the fruit of the Spirit? It's an outpouring of the work of the Spirit in one's life, showing the new creature we're said to be in Christ. If one doesn't bear that fruit, it's questionable if one knows Jesus at all. The fruit is also a work.😉

@RxOnlyFL @needGod_net Certainly not mean-spirited. However, rude is a little more nuanced. I’ve read many desert father stories that appear “rude” but in fact aren’t.

@needGod_net “Nicer” is not a measure of holiness. A heart transformed is not about being nice, it’s about being holy. And you can’t fit “holy” into a “nice” model of Christianity.

@nepsisblog What really saddened me was to see a children’s book clearly written and drawn by AI being sold at an Orthodox Monastery.

We need more Orthodox publishers to state plainly that they will not be utilizing AI-generated text in their work, and they need to be supported. Physical booksellers and Amazon now have books entirely "written" by AI in their inventories.

@needGod_net The issue is that you are preaching a different gospel. “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.” — Galatians 1:8

@Deaf__Smith I've been out there LOL. I am just restating the common feedback me and most young Orthodox men get.

@NorCalHerper I’m so unfamiliar with the western rite that I don’t have a formed opinion on it. May it be blessed.

@NoeticSpring Do you see the Western Rite having a place in the true American Orthodoxy of the future?

Met. Saba spoke beautifully about the future of true American Orthodoxy born from true Americans, not immigrants. Reflecting on this, it brings me joy at the prospect but sadness that I won’t see it in my lifetime. I’m only called to sow of what others shall reap.

I have fallen in love with Orthodox Appalachian chant, and I can’t stop listening to it.

@prekariosstylet That is beautiful too! It has its own distinct characteristic. Is there somewhere in the world that this is being used?

@desertcynic The metaphor does not focus on psychological health according to modern therapy. The focus is on the health of the soul. In this sense, holy fools might be consider psychologically ill from a worldly standard but great saints according to the Church.

By reducing Orthodox spirituality to a single metaphor, that of illness and health, Romanides and Vlachos inadvertently paved the way for salvation-as-psychological-integration that we see in figures like Jordan Peterson.
